  Welcome to the forum. Sounds like you have researched it well, it’s easy enough to self install. You will need to insulate the unit, ducts & manifolds in the attic. I can’t help with the calculations but others certainly will.

  Quite the journey you are on there, great to get an update. What's the fun of air tighting an old build like. Our new build is very good, house went up 1 degree as I worked in it today but here, in millstone Manor, it went down 4 degrees while I was out - so I need to get it more air tight. Done some windows and door resealing need to start on the upper works now! Its brick built 50mm cavity with insulation in places. Any tips?
- What does this +5 do to water law, Samsung ashp
  
  By PhilT · Posted 39 minutes ago
  
  If your Water Law (WC) with no adjustment was, for example, set as:- Outside 15>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> -2 deg C Flow 35>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>50 deg C your adjustment of +5 to the flow temp takes effect across the whole range, so the Water Law becomes:- Outside 15>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> -2 deg C Flow 40>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>55 deg C so either you should be feeling a lot warmer, or your room stat cuts the heating sooner, or both.
